Benefits of Being Licenced 

You are required by law to be licensed if you care for children from more than one family in addition to your own. But licensing is just not a requirement. Licensed caregivers receive many benefits, including:

  • Cost-Savings
    Joining the Child Care Food Program can save you money by reimbursing you for the cost of the food you serve to children.
  • Marketing Assistance
    Children, Youth & Families Resource and Referral Service puts you in touch with parents needing child care and provides helpful publications and advice.
  • Training Opportunities
    Children, Youth & Families and other organizations offer workshops on everything from art projects to child development to business strategies and more. Children, Youth & Families publishes a regular calendar of local workshops for licensed caregivers.
  • Professional Organizations
    You can join an organization that offers professional contact and fresh ideas.
